Honestly, the slimserver-vendor CPAN arch buildme is rubbish. I know because I referenced it for several years to build the arch dependent Perl libraries for version 1.18 up to 1.28. At some point I realized that many of the stuff being built actually already existed on my system, in a much

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Can we update our CPAN fork footprint?

2021-08-13 Thread wcattey

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS moves to end of playlist on restart

2021-08-13 Thread ForestChav
